The community has rallied round a town’s plans to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One.

But organisers are still hoping to hear from any relatives of the 137 soldiers from Liskeard who gave their lives during the conflict.

The ‘Drumhead 100’ service will be held at Westbourne Gardens at 2pm on July 1.

There’ll be no formalities and no parade during the event, the centrepiece of which will be the reading of the names of all the town’s fallen.

Organisers are still hoping relatives of some of the men will come forward to honour their ancestor.

Volunteers and local school children have volunteered to ensure every one of the servicemen is given a voice and a named cross to be laid.

Paul Blackwell of Liskeard Royal British Legion said: ‘Our whole community is now involved; ranging from our council, multi-faith congregations, local primary school children, local cadet forces, veterans and local clubs.

South East Cornwall MP Sheryll Murray and Lady Mayor Christine Whitty will be at the commemoration, and Liskeard Silver Band will play.

Mr Blackwell said: ‘We have also been given the honour of a special bell ringing session from St Martin’s Church which will happen 30 minutes prior to and 30 minutes after the service in honour of these who fought and died in World war One from our community.’

If you would have an ancestor who was among Liskeard’s fallen, please email [email protected] or call 01579 342174 and we’ll collate information to pass on to Liskeard RBL.
